Basis Set Ventures is an AI-native, early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2017 by Dr. Lan Xuezhao and headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area. The firm invests at the seed and early stages in founders building artificial intelligence across AI infrastructure, autonomous systems, molecular and materials discovery, agentic development tooling, intelligent collaboration, and automated workflows. Basis Set announced a $250M Fund IV and describes itself as "the first capital when it's just you and your vision," pairing capital with an operator-led founder concierge team. Portfolio companies include Path Robotics, Quince, Sakana AI, Tigris Data, Mem0, OpenArt, Cusp, Simular, Vizcom, and Entire. This is an API Evangelist network profile of the firm; Basis Set Ventures does not publish a public API, developer portal, or SDKs, so this record captures firm identity, web properties, and derived security posture rather than API artifacts.
